LEDs are blue, btw, except oddly in Mexico where that kind of blue LED hasn't passed their compliance yet. However on both, the lights play through the translucent gray.

Ignoring the fact they will sell the console at least in 600 dll, In mexico stores

What could be the best way to nerfed PV? What do you think they did?

 

[Sai-kun]

That controller is so damn pretty.

Fuck, I don't wanna sell my Reach console :/

 

[Trey]

Decrease its range of clarity/detection.

 

[Striker]

Good to hear PV nerfed.

If the carbine is getting nerfed too, surely the BR deserves a little buff?

Isn't the Carbine still roughly 8 shots to kill? With the BR at 5sk, it may be slightly faster to kill. Why nerf it, though?

Glad PV got nerfed a little. Hoping its the radius of its vision.

 

[Woorloog]

Halo, anyone? Reach or 3.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Any details on how PV was nerfed? I'd imagine it be blur the HUD more and increase cooldown.

 

[Caja 117]

lol T2 asking if there are button glitches.

Button glitches confirmed!!!

 

[CyReN]

Here's another picture of the new console.

I have a 360 at each TV in my house. I'm going to buy a new TV this month so I can justify the purchase of a new Xbox to wifey later in the year.

That controller looks too nice to touch, that shit needs keeping in a display cabinet.

And how many TVs you have?

 

[The Henery]

Hopefully they reduced its range and limited the amount of bursts a player could use in a single AA meter.

 

[Shadders]

And how many TVs you have?

One.

Jokes, I have three at the moment, one of each of the Halo boxes as well as my launch white 360 (which has been repaired a few times).

 

[OdysseusVA]

Carbine nerfed? Any mention of why and how?

The rest of the changes are gud

 

[Poker Face]

what time is the panel today, or did i already miss it?

 

[Gui_PT]

They love to nerf that weapon.

H3 Beta Carbine =(

 

[Plywood]

Enjoy our cunning marketing tricks. We make slurpers out of haters.

Your clever marketing tricks should release direct footage of Longbow.

Please.

 

[Steelyuhas]

what time is the panel today, or did i already miss it?

3:15 Pacific time I believe.

Carbine nerf? It has begun, the great nerfing of our time, where 343 nerfs all the weapons until everything sucks and people hate the game. (kidding, but it's basically what Bungie did with the last 2 Halo games.)

 

[Woorloog]

H3 Beta Carbine =(

How many shots it took to kill someone with that? Halo 3 retail Carbine takes 8 shots.
Or did it just have faster ROF?
I've heard the Spiker was a lot more powerful in the beta as well, true?

Explodes?

Tell me it is a spike grenade. I want those things back.
Alternatively, i hope it is an EMP grenade. Because people would get mad from that.

okay thanks

NO FUN ALLOWED.

Some things never change...

K? Mind sharing what it looks like/does?

Jerk.

I called this in my newest blog video, probably functions like an EMP right?

Whatever this man gives you I double.

Fine. GIVE him a reason to ignore the carrot. WAY TO GO, JERK.

 

[User 73932]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

 

[Tashi]

Tell us nerd!

Edit: whaaaaaaaack!!!!!

 

[Gray Man]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

THIS IS SO COOL!

Does it drain armor ability power?

For example, I'm using the shield, you throw it, my shield just goes down.

 

[TheOddOne]

Duder, what? Ultimate tease.

 

[Woorloog]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

Nice.
My second hope was right then...
And now we'll see if people go mad.
EDIT can you start with those? Because i'd definetly want them over frags and plasma (well, depends a bit on the game type ofc).

Also, Halo anyone? 3 or Reach.

 

[Tawpgun]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

Fascintresting

 

[Gabotron ES]

I just managed to get a Promethean grenade and I totally know what it does.

It disintegrates your enemies right? Is it similar to the fire nade from three but with bouncing properties?

TELL US +10

Edit: nice, can it kill you or it's just an EMP?

 

[Gui_PT]

Fine. GIVE him a reason to ignore the carrot. WAY TO GO, JERK.

He wasn't going to fall for that!

I've sent him a PM promising never before seen Dancing Sai GIFS.

I have them and he will want them!!!!

Edit: SEE

It afflicts the player with "nerd chills" rendering them obese and unable to move.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

So it's a grenade version of Power Drain?

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Yup. The emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion.

Cap it.
Gif it.
Post it.

Smaller radius and its more instant I would imagine.

 

[Mister Negative]

Over shield

How many people actually dislike aim acceleration on its own merits? Seems like an echo chamber of negativity rather than actual constructive criticism of the mechanic. I would expect the opposition to mainly come from seasoned PC shooter players.

There's no way to put my criticism of it into words. You can come over and watch me try to play Halo 3 if you want, the look on my face will say it all. It just feels like crap.

 

[Tashi]

Nerd chills is such a funny phrase. I first heard it from the SC2 commentators. Shit cracked me up

 

[Louis Wu]

You planned this, didn't you?
